Hello Hugh, Thursday, May 23, 2002, 2:21:21 PM, you textually orated:

I have found thousands of references on how to setup colours HEC> and change them but nothing on how to turn them off. For ls you simply need to edit the /etc/DIR_COLORS file and change the line that reads "COLOR=tty" to "COLOR=none". For vim (can't guarantee this) try changing your terminal type. Vi should depend on this for what to send out. There is a specific terminal for linux with color suppressed. Try adding (or at the command line type) export TERM=linux-m to your ~/.bash_profile Hope that helps you get back in the doldrums of monochrome ;) Have fun, -- _________________________________________________________________ Brian Ashe CTO [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dee-Web Software Services, LLC. http://www.dee-web.com/ ----------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
